    Serrano then backed the potential fight between the two stars, tweeting: “This has to be at Croke Park @MostVpromotions and @EddieHearn. Let’s Get It!”
    Paul’s promotion company also added on social media: “Katie Taylor is the greatest Irish athlete of all time. Amanda Serrano is the greatest Puerto Rican boxer of all time. The rematch in Ireland is massive.

    That was after Garcia, 24, had a tense face-off with his rival and became embroiled in a shoving match.
    Golden Boy Promotions executive and boxing legend Hopkins, who promotes Garcia, stood on the periphery of that melee and then appeared to rub his hand across Davis’s back at one point.
    And the Baltimore native and his camp have now revealed they were infuriated by it.
    The 28-year-old wrote in a now deleted tweet: “I should’ve slapped the s*** outta B-Hop as soon as he touched me.”

    Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford then promoted a theory on social media that he believed Hopkins was rubbing testosterone cream on his star’s back in order to taint a drug test.
    A text message shared by Ford on instagram read: “Coach beware of B hop and testosterone cream.
    “[It] will make you test dirty. Be careful.”
    Ford then added his own caption: “See this is why Bernard touch him.”
    Most read in Sport
    Golden Boy have been contacted by Sun Sport for comment on the allegations.
    Continuing his rant about Hopkins on Friday, Davis said: “[Hopkins is] talking about he about that life, man, nobody’s worried about his old ass, he needs to sit back and let the youngins do it.”
    Meanwhile, DAZN were forced to apologise after huge issues with the Davis and Garcia fight.
    Hundreds of TV viewers flocked to social media to complain about purchasing the PPV clash.
    Fans had paid $84.99 all together to watch the huge bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
    But boxing supporters suffered delays to their streams and accessing the broadcast.
    That forced DAZN to take to Twitter – but fans were left fuming with issues even after the first bell. More

    And Davis, 28, emerged as the winner when a sickening body shot in round seven left Garcia, 24, unable to continue.
    The fight was staged at a catchweight of 136lb with the contract including a 10lb rehydration clause.

    Visiting Garcia’s dressing room after the loss, he said: “He’s 1-0 on you, yous are the two biggest names in the division, I wanna see it again.
    “I want to see it again now and I want to see it with no rehydration clause. I’m serious.”
